Names not groups.   A gentleman tradesman is precise in his work.   Groups are so 20th century sloppy.   If Hitler et al had confined their considerable attentions to precision we&#039;d have a very different view of the man.  

**I am not asking for a list of names so please don&#039;t provide them**

I can make the same case about the Irish really controlling America&#039;s mid 20th century takeover of Great Britains Empire.   I could quite convincingly trace it back to the Civil War.  

It would be bullshit.  But..very good Bullshit.   I&#039;m congenitally a very good bullshitter.  I&#039;m Irish.

In fact warming to my brown scare, one can trace the roots of Communism and social Justice to the Gaels and their Brehon Code of Law.

		<description><![CDATA[It sickens me every time I hear the progressives, the media, the regulators, etc called The Cathedral&quot;. It is a purposely grotesque designed propagandized distortion of the truth. The truth is, it is &quot;The Synagogue&quot;. 

Their own words convict them. See the excellent link:
http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2008/05/ol4-dr-johnsons-hypothesis.html

Moldbug is a weapon. Moldbug talks about the problems. Even points out his own parents were part of it then, as the matador waves the red cape says,&quot;...The problem is: modern, post-1945 Western society certainly does not match the description of a type 1 society. For example, there is no coordinating authority. Unless you can come up with some conspiracy theory (Joo! Joo!), it simply doesn&#039;t exist. There is no Goebbels who tells writers what to write, filmmakers what to film, journalists what to print, or professors what to profess. There is no Pope, there is no Church, there is no Party, there is nothing. And as we&#039;ve seen, the type 1 design makes no sense without coordination...&quot;.

 How convenient. Yet &quot;(Joo! Joo!), it simply doesn&#039;t exist.&quot; do exist. The same people he says about,&quot;...There is no use in trying to convince me that there was never any such thing as an international Communist conspiracy...&quot;

1.&quot;...Goebbels who tells writers what to write...&quot;
Oh really. Who owns the majority of publishing houses? When David Irving got on the wrong side of the Jews they injured his career and some of their brethren physically attempted to attack him. You think Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn&#039;s having trouble publishing his last book maybe had a little to do with his thoughts on the Jews? A little, maybe?
2.&quot;...journalists what to print...&quot; Ask Derbyshire about that. Many more I won&#039;t belabor the point.
3. What about the Hispanic sports guy who talked about the Jews on Jon Stewarts show? Fired the next day. I could go on...and...on...and...on... 
4.&quot;...professors what to profess...&quot;  Lawrence H. Summers
5.He says we don&#039;t live in a type 1 society and in type 1 societies,&quot;...It penalizes people for expressing bad thoughts, or rewards them for expressing good thoughts, or ideally, of course, both...&quot; of course then another whopper,&quot;...type 1 design makes no sense without coordination...&quot;
Really and yet he says just the opposite,&quot;... The organs install good thoughts in the young, and maintain them in the adult. Hominids are learning machines. They learn what&#039;s put in front of them. It&#039;s really not that hard.

To keep bad thoughts from spreading, the State uses its powers to discourage, prohibit or destroy unofficial or otherwise uncoordinated information organs...&quot;

Do any of you &quot;really&quot; read this stuff? Think. Who owns the information source? Who owns the state. It&#039;s not the Cathedral I assure you.

Somewhere around 60% of all political campaign funds for the Democratic party come from Jews. Around 50% of the respective Republican party. The Jews own the State and if they own the State they are responsible for the condition it&#039;s in.

Let me clue you in to the Jews. Who are they. Read this:
Eustace Mullins - The Biological Jew

http://archive.org/details/Mullinseustace-TheBiologicalJew1967Incl.Biblio.pdf

http://marucha.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/eustace-mullins-the-biological-jew.pdf

Books are so hard to read though. Maybe a little of what Voltaire thought of them will do,
&quot;&quot;… [Jews] are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.[2] —Voltaire, Lettres de Memmius a Ciceron (1771)...&quot; He said a lot more if you&#039;re interested.

But you say Voltaire? Who&#039;s he? Ok I&#039;ll make it even easier. On 9/11 three building came down. One building #7 was not hit by a plane. Yet it collapsed. They say by fires but the fires had largely gone out when it fell. The strange thing though was it fell for 108 feet or so AT THE SPEED A ROCK DROPPED at the same height would drop. No resistance. This is impossible. No fire dematerializes building structures. Even the flimsiest material has some resistance. This evidence, the biggest story on the planet, gets no mention in the Jew owned papers, movies, TV or Government. If you don&#039;t understand the significance of this...well I don&#039;t know what to tell you.

So let&#039;s agree, amongst us with White European ancestors, to never again use the term &quot;Cathedral&quot; when we speak of our oppressors. That term is for the Jewish propagandist. Let them use it so we will know them. There&#039;s hardly any point in being a &quot;Reactionary&quot; and &quot;seeing and saying the truth&quot; while babbling &quot;Cathedral&quot; propaganda nonsense. Might as well join the Trayvon fan club. Let us use the proper term &quot;The Synagogue&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Answers to specific questions: (part 4 of 4)

Transhumanism/futurism - Both have little romantic attachment to the past, and a strong affinity to science. The difference is in intent. Neoreaction seeks to use modern discoveries as weapons against the Cathedral and revive traditionalism from a secular-rational foundation. Transhumanists and futurists are generally unaware that the Cathedral exists, or are sympathetic to Cathedral goals, and are likely to be entirely co-opted by them.

Libertarians -  Libertarianism is often a useful transit-point into neoreaction. Libertarians often recognize some facet of the Cathedral that is in direct opposition to their goals, and become fully-reactionary once they realize the beast has many arms. Ideologically, libertarianism is a form of progressivism and anti-traditionalism, which makes it fundamentally incompatible with reactionary thought, but in practice, we are allied against a common enemy, and many of their beliefs - for example, that egalitarianism is incompatible with human freedom - echo our own. Within libertarianism, there is a creeping recognition of cultural traditionalism, although it is clothed in free-market lingo, like social-capital, high-trust societies, network effects, and positive externalities.

Fascism - to my knowledge, there is no common understanding of fascism in neoreaction. Some are sympathetic to it as the last great challenge to the Cathedral, and some, including Moldbug, see it as a extreme form of progressivism. 

White Supremacism - This is such a vague term that it must be unpacked to be useful. Most neoreactionaries affirm the importance of ethnicity and culture, and therefore find the idea of ethnic self-determination for people of European ancestry as broadly desirable. Significantly, neoreactionaries recognize the cultural and genetic strengths of other ethnicities, and do not claim blanket Indo-European superiority.

Anti-Semitism - Again, a vague and overused term. Charges of anti-Semitism are leveled when any individual isn’t sufficiently enthusiastic about protecting Israel or Israeli interests. Likewise, noting the blatantly pro-Jewish policies of the Israeli state is also anti-Semitic. I believe that the most common neoreactionary stance towards Israel is a distant admiration. They are a serious ethno-state looking to survive in a tough neighborhood. As to Jewish conspiracy, views vary widely, but most are content to simply note that Jews have an above-average participation in Cathedral-aligned institutions, and the Cathedral displays an otherwise-unexplainable deference to Jewish and Israeli interests.

Social Darwinism - It is simply a statement of the obvious. Societies compete, and societies that are too inept to continue their own survival die out and are replaced by those that are not.

Capitalism is to blame - It is impossible to answer this question without first precisely definining capitalism. The popular conception of capitalism is inextricably tied to the Cathedral, and untangling this mess would take pages.

Everything is basically OK – Except it&#039;s not. We&#039;ve been living off stored fat and the chance discovery of the CMOS transistor for sometime now. Let&#039;s remember that in historical terms, twenty or fifty years isn&#039;t very long. The decline of Western civilization from her peak, whether it be cultural refinement, military dominance, family-unit strength, individual happiness, or economic wealth, has been alarmingly quick.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why now? (part 3 of 4)

There are a few external reasons. The first reason is that modern science has reached a point where many of the polite fictions that underpin the progressive system (such as the blank-slate) are no longer sustainable. The second is that globalization and the Internet have broken the Cathedral’s monopoly on acceptable discourse. The civil war between two sects of the Cathedral is over (the Cold War), and now the West must grapple with fundamentalist Islam, and the rise of a xenophobic and fiercely ethno-nationalist East Asia. The blunt pronouncements of Omar Bakri Muhammad or Shintaro Ishihara, people whose thoughts are utterly foreign to a Cathedral-trained mind, are now readily accessible, and cannot be ignored. The Cathedral can only dismiss them as bizarre and irrational, but growing numbers of people are beginning to understand the deep logic behind their actions. The self-organizing nature of the internet gives the ability to unearth and highlight obscure events where the mask slips, to read historical writings, or writings from cultures still outside Cathedral influence. Events that were supposed to have gone down the memory hole are inconveniently resurfacing. The third is that the Western model is under visible stress, economically, politically, and culturally. The current government shutdown charade is an alamagamation of all three stressors, and even the average person is beginning to question the structual integrity of the entire system.

Then there are internal reasons. First, the most recent phase of progressivism has finally corrupted enough of Western society that even average people are beginning to question its wisdom. The breakdown of the nuclear family, the erosion of social trust, and creeping corruption and crime are finally making inroads on the American core. Secondly, we have the first generation that was fully hothouse-educated by the Cathedral, and any evidence or thought contrary to the Cathedral comes as a real shock and relief. There is an unanswered thirst for real answers. This thirst manifests in strange ways, such as the popularity of the mangled history found on the History Channel, which, while shallow and inaccurate, at least provides a welcome break from the relentless Cathedral propaganda taught in schools. As similar trend is found in the recent rash of books and biographies about the Founding Fathers. Thirdly, the Cathedral has destroyed all meaningful resistance and is beginning to move faster. While in the past, progressives were limited by the longevity of human memory, now they can actively re-write history to erase their mistakes and broken promises. The increasing speed and obviousness of their actions are causing some people to notice. Fourthly, conservatives are beginning to create a true challenge to the Republican party, even if it is ideologically incoherent at the moment. There is a pervasive disillusionment and disbelief in any Cathedral-aligned institution, even if they don’t understand it as such (yet).

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why now? (part 3 of 4)</p>
<p>There are a few external reasons. The first reason is that modern science has reached a point where many of the polite fictions that underpin the progressive system (such as the blank-slate) are no longer sustainable. The second is that globalization and the Internet have broken the Cathedral’s monopoly on acceptable discourse. The civil war between two sects of the Cathedral is over (the Cold War), and now the West must grapple with fundamentalist Islam, and the rise of a xenophobic and fiercely ethno-nationalist East Asia. The blunt pronouncements of Omar Bakri Muhammad or Shintaro Ishihara, people whose thoughts are utterly foreign to a Cathedral-trained mind, are now readily accessible, and cannot be ignored. The Cathedral can only dismiss them as bizarre and irrational, but growing numbers of people are beginning to understand the deep logic behind their actions. The self-organizing nature of the internet gives the ability to unearth and highlight obscure events where the mask slips, to read historical writings, or writings from cultures still outside Cathedral influence. Events that were supposed to have gone down the memory hole are inconveniently resurfacing. The third is that the Western model is under visible stress, economically, politically, and culturally. The current government shutdown charade is an alamagamation of all three stressors, and even the average person is beginning to question the structual integrity of the entire system.</p>
<p>Then there are internal reasons. First, the most recent phase of progressivism has finally corrupted enough of Western society that even average people are beginning to question its wisdom. The breakdown of the nuclear family, the erosion of social trust, and creeping corruption and crime are finally making inroads on the American core. Secondly, we have the first generation that was fully hothouse-educated by the Cathedral, and any evidence or thought contrary to the Cathedral comes as a real shock and relief. There is an unanswered thirst for real answers. This thirst manifests in strange ways, such as the popularity of the mangled history found on the History Channel, which, while shallow and inaccurate, at least provides a welcome break from the relentless Cathedral propaganda taught in schools.

		<description><![CDATA[The Cathedral (part 2 of 4)

What is the Cathedral? Much better and more novel definitions of the Cathedral exist, but for the sake of self-contained completeness, I will offer my own. The Cathedral is the current progressive regime, composed of academia, media, government, and corporations, that seeks install a global multicultural capitalist system as the only source of human identity, and to supplant or eradicate all other forms of human loyalty, whether it be to a religion, an ethnicity, a culture, a tribe, or even a family. The Cathedral is best understood as a emergent collection of individuals who all find it in their best interest to further the collective goals of the Cathedral. Their goal is to create a world where there is only the Cathedral and the atomized individual, utterly incapable of resistance.

The Cathedral is the key conceptual innovation in neoreaction, and is among the reasons why Moldbug and his concepts are so influential in neoreaction. Why is it so important? Because it identifies the enemy as a distinct entity, and gives it a name to avoid Orwellian deceptions. Take for example, the term “multiculturalism”. Multiculturalism is not the tolerance of other cultures. It is itself a competing culture, and once installed, quickly seeks to eradicate other competing cultural loyalties. Freedom of religion is actually the arbitrary suppression of certain religions, and so on. The term “the Cathedral”, with its imperious, foreboding overtones, provides a potent description of this self-interested adversary, and instantly invites a critical analysis of their internal power structures and long-term goals. Once the enemy is identified, it can be studied.]]></description>
